apn® the healthcare system and its acoustic possibilities
Heal in peace
Good acoustics in healthcare environments promote recovery and minimize stress for patients and staff. This has been shown many times by scientific studies on acoustics in healthcare. Hospitals, practice rooms, clinics and retirement homes therefore require special soundproofing and acoustic solutions that reduce daily noise levels and guarantee a high level of discretion.
The particular challenge here is to comply with hygienic standards and to install an acoustic solution that makes compliance with these standards as easy as possible. This should not interfere with the daily routine of the clinic, on the contrary: to significantly support and facilitate the challenging work of the medical staff is our mission.
Reception
Speech intelligibility over short distances as well as ensuring privacy are top priorities in the reception area in order to be able to maintain a certain level of confidentiality. Wall, ceiling or shielding elements serve as room acoustic solutions for this purpose.

Corridors / traffic routes
Corridors and traffic routes must fulfill several acoustic missions: They serve as places for relaxation, concentration or communication. Conversations, walking and rolling noises shall be reduced by appropriate measures to protect adjacent areas.

Waiting area
In these areas, the main demands are for comfort. So that waiting areas needed fewer acoustic measures than speech-relevant areas such as reception.

Cafeteria / Canteen
Poor acoustics in cafeterias and canteens are often noticed by the increased volume, which is always encouraged by the participants in the conversation. To avoid the so-called Lombard effect, it is important to minimize background noise and optimize speech intelligibility and audibility. Therefore, for these areas, there is a requirement for room acoustics that should not be underestimated.

Patient room
Due to the minimalist design of a patient’s room, they should be equipped with sound-absorbing surfaces on the ceiling and walls. To reduce acoustic exposure to other patients, shielding elements should also be considered in shared rooms. They provide more privacy and reduce reflected and direct sound.

Treatment room
Speech intelligibility and the guarantee of privacy are essential components of room acoustic solutions in treatment rooms. For this purpose, wall and ceiling surfaces must be covered with absorbent elements and, if necessary, additional shielding elements must be used.

Laboratory
In laboratories, you are surrounded by many alarms and the constant hum and beep of technical equipment. These mix with the general noise level to form a disturbing background noise that has a strong impact on the well-being of the staff. It is therefore important to reduce disturbing background noise, shorten the reverberation time and absorb unwanted sound reflections.
